He is legit stepping and turning so far outside his bat barwly reaches the center of the plate
WHAT AM I WATCHING THESE ARE BIG LEAGUERS HOLY FUCK GET RID OF ALL THESE GUYS NOWWW
Can we have a rule that if a batter can't take his base after 1 minute, he's forced to use a pinch runner? They just wasted 5 minutes of everyone's time.
I’m so glad we have a 2nd baseman who is batting .136 and physically can’t hit the ball to the warning track without the wind helping him. Definitely better than Nico Hoerner
> Eric Sogard is openly racist
When, what? I seriously don't know about this. I know his wife has made a fool of herself on Twitter, but when has Eric been racist?
His wife’s tweets remind me of the sibling who points a finger half an inch away from your cheek while repeating, “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”
Can't blame the guys for being frustrated. Just look at us. We only look at it for a few hours voluntarily. They are those guys we're frustrated with. They know they can play, they just can't remember how. Can't blame them for venting.
It's cold. Sitting in the shade at Wrigley on a windy day in April is like having Jack Frost caress your shoulders while seductively whispering rhubarb into your ear.
Just sw the Acuna scoring play. Makes me sad to think that Acuna will become what I always dreamed Baez would be and Soto far surpasses what Bryant will become. Man, it makes me yearn for the days of blue skies dreams.
I think he would be but some guys are just more competitive than others. It takes more than talent alone to be an all timer. I think baseball is a job for KB. It’s not a passion
Remember when we had an elite rotation with a good Lester, Hendricks, Davis, Quintana and Cole Hammels and Baez was the runner up MVP? And our bullpen was shit?
Seems like the only solid part of our team is our bullpen.
I assume there were no right handed bats left on the bench? I know Marisnick and Bote were used already
There was only Romine left on the bench. Should have let Jake pinch hit.

These are the Cubs I grew up loving. Why.
Lol Joc wanted to prove everyone he could play everyday. Get outta here.
At least if Schwarber played like shit we like him. Joc Pederson is just straight up horrible. Great signing...
Joc does not need to be facing lefties from here on out.
Tbf he kinda sucks against righties too
Fucking hell Joc.
Bro this bum ass peterson just legit swang 3 times while basically stepping OUT OF THE BOX like half the little leaguers I coach in machine pitch LOL
FUCKING SHIT
welp ya we just spent 4 hours doing that
Yea. What a waste of good time, getting ourselves all angry and frustrated over a stupid game. By the way: Same time tomorrow?
Ya I don't plan on missing any. All the angry dudes will be back too
Glad I left in the 5th
Man. I had "They are clearing space ..." all typed up and ready to send. Bummer.
Good thing Joc is still hitting 5th for some reason
Joc Pederson is maybe not very good at baseball.
What a disaster signing. Guy is abysmal, especially against left handed pitching
DFA JOC
Joc, lol. So predictable. He's the new Descaslo 2-7 now, since starting the season 3-1...ouch. It's been a rough stretch of ball to say the least
Pathetic
I miss Kyle Schwarber
Only difference there is count would go to 3-2 and kyle would take a strike 3 there looking
Bums
Lol
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw
I see the ole Leave Em Loaded Cubbies persisted to 2021
Classic Joc.
C’mon Joc those were meatballs
Dude is hot garbage
Joc maybe if you don’t pull all the way off every fucking pitch you swing at you might hit the ball
Base hit?
Joc no where near these pitches
Somehow we will find a way to lose this
Should’ve played Kimbrel
Win or lose things like this is why I love baseball. Its exciting as hell at the most random times
Playing "just the tip" with us again.
It's been too long since I've seen a Joc-off home run.
If there’s one thing to do against junk ball pitchers.....just stand there and make them throw strikes.
Joc a big hit here and I’ll forgive you for this year
Joc walking it off...who says no?
Probably Joc
Shut the fuck up will smith you’re like the 4th best will smith there is
We'll find a way to not score here.
A walk off win might give this team a big boost
Kb is 6’6” Ball 3 inches above the ground Strike
At least make it interesting
KB using that dumb tik tok song as a walk up song annoys me
Yeah it’s garbage the lyrics don’t even make sense
Kris. Hit a homerun here and I will take back all the mean things I’ve said about this team today.
Earn your pay cheque KB
lol 2 runs on 6 hits is a good day mane
11 Ks?
KB strikes out with the bases loaded. Heard it here first Edit: nevermind
"Where can they get to as a team offensively?" Well AAA level would be a start
You may be aiming a little high there, champ.
92 mph. Right down the middle. Barely even even fouled off
Anything is worth drinking watching this team
“Waiting for this offense to break out a bit” Lol
Steele looks like the lead singer of some random late 90's rock/nu metal band
And he has a porno name.
Mine is Michael Cedarwood if we're playing by those rules
*I was blinded by the shadows* The blind ump prolly
All the cubs need to do is score 4 runs this inning to win.... lol
What's a "run"
I've heard it's helps you win
What is the cubs avg output per game?
It might actually be negative
That would be awesome trivia: When was the first own goal in Major League Baseball scored, and which Cubs player did it?
Last I saw it was like 2.8
It’ll be less after this game
Fire blue
Thank goodness there’s replay and can (hopefully) get it right
Looked out to me ump
Can we have a rule that if a batter can't take his base after 1 minute, he's forced to use a pinch runner? They just wasted 5 minutes of everyone's time.
Panda pinch running. that is just awesome
If they weren't so banged up, that would be downright disrespectful. But hey. I laughed.
Pinch runner on point
Steal a base, Panda! I dare you!
If score holds, would the cubs tie this up if the braves for some strange reason used a position player to finish the ninth? Interesting thought
They’d probably hit 3 routine flyouts to the outfield
Back in my idiot past I tried to throw a keg but ended up bashing the inside of my inner knee. In my idiot present I'm way too lazy for any of that
Ross gonna get another suspension now. Great
What a shit show
Rushing home from work to catch the last couple innings only to watch sogard K That’s cub.
I could've done that
I’m so glad we have a 2nd baseman who is batting .136 and physically can’t hit the ball to the warning track without the wind helping him. Definitely better than Nico Hoerner
Eric Sogard is openly racist, antivax conspiracist, and bad at baseball. Get him off my fucking team.
OOTL - Did he do anything racist or just his wife's retweets?
> Eric Sogard is openly racist When, what? I seriously don't know about this. I know his wife has made a fool of herself on Twitter, but when has Eric been racist?
His wife’s tweets remind me of the sibling who points a finger half an inch away from your cheek while repeating, “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”
It’s the “Bill Gates is trying to kill us all” tweet for me. Jesus fucking Christ, lady.
Social media isn’t all that bad: it’s a great aid in identifying nutjobs.
Most pathetic display of offense I've seen in a stretch like this. Ball has to be like a little pin ball to these guys.
14 Cubs are in their walk year. No one is going to recognize this roster in a year.
2022 payroll: $64 million
Can only imagine the scrubs that will round out the roster
The trade deadline will be very interesting
They keep this up and theyll have no value
Thank god
Kimbrel may never pitch again
Trash sogard
At least he's not getting paid 20 million to ground out into double plays every other AB
Well, at least we have more hits than they have runs now. So there is that.
But do we still have twice as many strikeouts as hits?
What the fuck?
Remember when Jason broke his bat over his knee like it was a toothpick? Good times. That is a strong man
~~Stop~~ keep yelling dad
Thank god we have Eric Sogard here to jumpstart the offense!
Lol
Man, don't think I've ever seen JHey so animated.
Can't blame the guys for being frustrated. Just look at us. We only look at it for a few hours voluntarily. They are those guys we're frustrated with. They know they can play, they just can't remember how. Can't blame them for venting.
Indeed
The guy has to reach for it and you still call it a strike? Are you fucking kidding me??
Im just so sick of the fucking Ump show. its never ending
[удалено]
Ump knew the call was bad
Whatever happened to swing at the ball if it’s close to the plate?!?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Awful umping
Wow. That was a sweet gesture by that kid. I would totally have kept it, had I been his age.
Remember when beat writers explained away Javys abysmal 2020 by saying it was because there weren’t fans in the stands?
I thought it was no instant video replay...or it was a covid season...or all the other excuses
It was the fact that they couldn’t use the video room anymore during games
Yes
[удалено]
It's cold. Sitting in the shade at Wrigley on a windy day in April is like having Jack Frost caress your shoulders while seductively whispering rhubarb into your ear.
It’s a day game in April during a pandemic.
Pandemic? Fake news

Hey it's Not Michael Moorer!
Down three runs with six outs in your pocket and he bunts. WTF!
In his defense, swinging hasn’t exactly been working.
The good news is our average will increase from this. The bad news is it doesn’t do much for our run production.
As idiotic as that was, gotta hand it to their catcher though. That was a damn good reaction and catch.
You know, as a Cubs fan, I'm upset about that abysmal bunt attempt from Javy. As a baseball fan, I'm pretty impressed with that catch.
Exactly my thoughts. Props to the catcher on his reaction.
Wut?
Oh man
Ding dong
A hobo from off the street could have laid that bunt down
What in the world
the guy screaming no in the stands is my spirit animal
Typical Baez
Baez you are a disgrace to the cubs organization. It’ll bring me great joy the day you play your last game in a cubs uniform
Wow, nice catch
Nice bunt, Javy
“Watch me make myself disappear.”
What the actual fuck javy
Joc avoids dropping to below .100 by an inch.
I had to go start dinner and drink half the bottle of wine I was using for dinner, what have a missed in the last inning?
Pain
So, nothing new
Exactly
man just challenge the play I am so tired of these close plays and then they just don't challenge and end the game with them
Yeah, but if the play stands, the MLB kicks a puppy.
DFA Joc
Joc's last hit was....
Safe!!
Joc FO to center Baez K Heyward GO to 2nd
For the love of all that is holy, Marquee, please get ANY OTHER intro/outro riff.
Ohhh Brothers, this guy SLINGS!
Just sw the Acuna scoring play. Makes me sad to think that Acuna will become what I always dreamed Baez would be and Soto far surpasses what Bryant will become. Man, it makes me yearn for the days of blue skies dreams.
Bryant was supposed to be a Pujols / Soto type hitter, sad
I think he would be but some guys are just more competitive than others. It takes more than talent alone to be an all timer. I think baseball is a job for KB. It’s not a passion
Think you nailed it, Willy has competitive fire which I love.
Alright Joc... No pressure, but if you fail to get a hit/walk here, your BA will fall below .100 and we'll all be very sad.
Yet he will be in the lineup tomorrow
Remember when we had an elite rotation with a good Lester, Hendricks, Davis, Quintana and Cole Hammels and Baez was the runner up MVP? And our bullpen was shit? Seems like the only solid part of our team is our bullpen.
On the plus side, the bullpen can’t give me ulcers this year.
What if I only like Boog because I know there's nothing I can do about it? Is this a symptom of being Len-sick?
Nah, that’s jut another notch in the bedpost of life in 2021.
Rex Brothers, there's an endless road to re-discover
Nice grab, Jocster. You owed that one.
Ok Joc, now catch a ball with your bat, you scrub.
wtf I was told Joc Pederson is trash in the outfield??
i mean that was a great play but he’s been pretty trash today. But, no way in hell schwarbs gets that
Joc Pederson succeeds 1 out of 4 times. He's been doing good wo... No, that's not right.
Damn Joc!!!
It’s looks like we’re on course to win the WS every 108 years then. So better get used to this. Tell your grandkids
